New Delhi: No-frills airline IndiGo has seen the exit of nearly 25 Indian pilots in the last six months amid the domestic aviation sector witnessing intense competition aided by lower fares and higher passenger growth.
With domestic airlines embarking on ambitious expansion plans, the demand for pilots and cabin crew across various levels is on the rise. Against this backdrop, various airlines, including IndiGo, are also pitching for increasing the mandatory notice period for pilots to one year from six months.
IndiGo is the country's largest airline in terms of market share which stood at 39.8% in July.
While there are rumours that a significant number of pilots are leaving IndiGo, the carrier put the quantum at nearly 25 for the last six-month period.
When contacted, an IndiGo spokesperson said less than 25 Indian pilots have left in the last six months.
"As per the internal records, in the last six months, we have seen the exit of less than 25 Indian pilots from IndiGo and less than half of them have joined any of our competitors," the spokesperson told PTI in an e-mailed statement.
